He said, “We have not yet come to terms with the shock (of his death). Seeing his wife every day keeps reminding us of the kind of person he was. Our home was filled with laughter and smiles; now, all of a sudden, the happiness has vanished. It’s a big vacuum. We are looking after her (Madhu Shah); she is precious to us too.”
